Perfect Moment Saturday - Tomatoes in my Garden!

I sat down to write about the SA I scheduled for the 28th and all of the thoughts that I have about it, but then the dog distracted me and I wandered outside to discover.... drumroll please.... a couple little tomatoes! I grew some tomatoes!!! They are on the saddest looking plant I've ever seen, one I planted a while back with a bunch of other edible garden goodies which have all since died. But this lone tomato plant has somehow persevered thru my lack of watering, the poor sandy soil conditions, the salty ocean wind, and general neglect to produce some tomatoes. A grabbed the camera to snap a few pictures to share and caught the most delicious whiff of tomato plant - you know, wonderful that smell of fresh produce in summer all mixed up with sunshine!



It was a perfect moment to discover these little green tomatoes that are growing and thriving despite it all.

It looks soo good! Especially since it has so much to battle against. I am still anxiously awaiting the ripening of my tomato plants as well. p.s. I love the smell of fresh tomatoes too

Hey - haven't been by in a while. LOVE the new blog design. So fun! Tomatoes look great and we're growing a garden this year, too. It really feels good, doesn't it? Let me send you a hug, too, as you're a great person!

I was out taking pics of my veggies this morning. Nothing better than food you have grown yourself :)

I just wanted to let you know, we have decided to use your Katherine Hepburn quote for our adoption profile. Thank you so much for finding it for us!!

I started a raised garden bed last year. I figured if I couldn't grow babies naturally, I may as well try growing my own veggies! It's a wonderful feeling when the most simple moments take your breath away! Congrats on the tomatoes!
